A k & CY FALKENBERG CAME THROUGH WHEN CUBS, WITH THEIR WINNING STREAK SMASHED TO SMITHEREENS, DEPART WITH OUR PHILLIES IN FIRST PLACE Men of Moran Take All Four Games From Mitchell's Bruins and Make Ready to Entertain Guests From Cincinnati This Afternoon TO ASCIUBB a reason why a winning streak Is living li tho easiest thing in tho world, but when that winning streak is going on tho great and unadulterated blink tho elongated oxcuso must ho brought into tho limelight nnd that grand old tandbv. Mr. All Dl. draeced from retirement Wo havo diagnosed many and sundry explanations for things that happened as they should not have happened, but the caso of the Cubs has us up tho well-known treo listening to tho singing of tho little birdies, nnd other stuff labeled more of tho same. Kreddy Mitchell brought his herd of Bruins Into our midst Iato last week, nnd they departed last night looking like a flock of accidents going somo placo to happen. Their winning streak was smashed beyond repair and lookod as wholo nnd healthy as if it Just merged from tho battlo of tho Marno. Tho players appeared as happy as a hay seed Jammed Into his first dress suit, and thoy-wcro loud in their protestations of tho terrlblo (not to say dastardly) trick playcdHipon them by tho Men of Moran. They had a swell excuse for dropping four games to tho home-town boys, and that excuse was not basod upon the fact that only four game were played. Gather closely and get an earful As a prologue, nllow us to stato that this It the funniest stunt Hint has come down the plko slnco Doc Cook discovered tho North l'olo with a patkngo of gum drops and a pair of binoculars. To carry it further, thoscamlablo brethren, 3'uck and Judge, missed something 3U2AI when they muffed ihia latest, -which. Jias worked its hcctlo -way eastward. Tin, Chicago and Pittsburgh ond other polnts-on routo. To bo brief nnd cut -out -the wuspenso -stuff, wo havo discovered for tho 'eteenth time that tho Phils havo boon using tho bean hall to Intlmldnto the- op posing batsmen. This Is not news, but merely verification of tho stuff w printed yesterday. Tho mere fact that we haven't seen It used eccpt by tho Cub pitchers has nothlng"to do with It, and the exrusf Ml'ST bo mod. no nnttrr what happens. They will stick tw.it. Now tho "bean ball" is to tho national pastime, to quota Charlie Drydon, m German Kultur Is to the world. It merely means that when an Indolent batter wanders tb tho plato nnd gazes at. tho scoreboard tho pitcher whacks him on the head, decorously termed tho "bean," nnd then tho coroner begins to prk up and muss up tho proceedings. , TlrAYHAP in tho flush of tho first -innlntftherivmay be a twirler who would endeavor to bounco tho bulb oft 'tho headpiece- of an opposing batsman, but-tHat does not dev in tho caso.of Chicago. If wo wero in tho habit of making cutting romarks, wo would nay. that no- pitcher on our sldo would hit a Cub player on tho head, for concreto ruins baseballs softens them up radically. Thus, with one fell swoop has that alibi of tho "bean ball" been punctured and tho yarn is now running on a flat tire. However, and Be That as It Mau, Observe Our Phils THOSE deep nnd heartfelt chuckles that ono hears on this bright but chilly Mny day are caused by .that basso prof undo roar which emanates from Fitch burg's man of tho hour, ono Patricio Moran. Patricio Is 'beaming like tho rising aun or something, for his team at last is occupying tho foremost placo in tho league and only seven other clubs arc trailing In tho rear. Mr. Moran has accomplished his desire. Ho has ousted tho GlantB and passed tho Cubs all in ono day. Ho is Just as happy ns tho starving man waiting for tho Iceman to bring him a cako or the financial wreck looking for tho thunder to come through with n roll. Ho is as Joyous ns tho guy who brings homo nn nrmful of Liberty Bonds each nftcrnoon With which to paper the back bedroom. Oh, yes, 'tis a mcrrle, merrlo world. To head the National League these stormy nnd turbulent clays Is Just ns easy as singing tenor with the Kaiser when ho renders "Tho Star Spangled Banner." It can be dono with tho caso and graco of n guy trjlng to walk out of a depart ment store with n piano under his coat. There nro fow who aro allowed to ascend to those dizzy heights nnd tho Phils wero not allowed a look-in. Before tho western Invasion tho Men of Pat Moran wero shuttled out of tho first division nnd tho nemy from frothy St. Louis and windy Chicago handed front seats In tho big Derby. But what happened is something clso ngaln. Mnwruss. St Louts hit tho skids, Pittsburgh camo up for nlr only once nnd the Cubs wero submerged so far that the U-53 turned green with envy nnd framed a protest ngnlnst nllens stealing Its stuff. Only ono skirmish was lost on tho eastern front nnd tho Invaders took It on the run. LD CHRIS MATIinWSON nnrt his 0 todav for a series of four games. much; but tarry Just a moment, JUST A MOMENT! Tho Phils havo won flvo games in a row. Thnt's a hoodoo, nnd it was brought forcibly to our . mind by thnt well-known dopeftter, Charllo Hceb, who always wagers his coin on long chances. Hvery tlmo our her6es havo a quintet of nicks in the pennant polo they burst with a bibulous bang nnd havo to begin nil over again. Let's hopo that such is not tho caso this p. m. Tom Scaton Twirled Good Ball, But He Got the Hook TT WAS sad to see Tom Scaton tnko tho "longest walk In tho wot Id" in tho - fourth inning jestcrday, when Pred Mitchell motioned to him to meander from the pitchers' mound to tho bench. Tom had hurled somo good ball, but It wnsn't good enough to satisfy Predward the Furious. For three innings he had his former pals eating out of his lean and sinewy hand, and becnuso ho slipped up for an Instant in tho fourth tho tlnwaro was attached. No matter how good a pitcher is, he Is likely to get his bumps occasionally. Ho usually works out his own salvation if left alone, but Tom wasn't given a rhanco. After two were down tn this inning.' Cy "Williams made a horrlhlo mess of Klllefer's single and booted the bnll around long enough to allow Bill to reach second nnd Ludcrus to score. Oscar Dugey, who sat in for Lavender, pushed a long slnglo to center which f cored our peerless catcher, nnd Senton was labeled "Ire" then nnd there. Remember, two were down nnd Seaton Is one of tho best twlrlers In tho league. Ono man was on base and tho Cubs one run to tho good. Surely Tom could havo worked himself out of the hole. But Mitch couldn't seo it in that light. He lifted a recruit named Aldrldgo from tho Bull Pen and huiled him into the fray. Ho walked Paskert and allowed Bancroft to smash a double which cleared the bases. Stock drew a pass and then camo tho weirdest play eer seen on a ball field. Cravath hit tho ball two miles ono up nnd ono down and Larry Doylo started after tho altltudlnous pill. Ho tore in from his placo In deep second and his teammates watched the performance with deep Interest. Lnrry mado a heroic try, but ho never touched tho ball. It dropped about ten feet In front of tho home plate, and by that time ono runner had scored nnd Gavvy was roosting on second. I N THE meantime, what was Elliot, Deal or Aldrldgo make a try for wrong with that infield or somebody mussed up tho signals. At any rate, It was what might bo termed a mlraclo two-bagger, and it is extremely doubtful if it ever will happen again. Lest We Forget The Athletics Walloped Cleveland Yesterday CYRANO DE FALKENBERG, ho of tho elongated but elaborato physlquo, tasted tho sweetness of rovengo yesterday when ho sank his rusty harpoon Into tho quivering backs of tho young men who wear Leo Fohl's haberdashery In Cleve land. Not since that eventful time when Cyrano rolled 300 on Ms own alloys in a five-handed bowling match has the hairpin enjoyed such a Joyous day. Ho put one over on tho club that onco made a noise like a tin cannery nnd mado tho per pendicular pitcher act like a disappearing gun. Ho also put tho work on tho gents who never went broke paying' tho monolith his monthly salary. Ho twirled Connie's Macklets to victory, and that is somo stunt these dava. Cyrano waa the real hard-luck guy when his nomo graced tho Cloveland pay roll. It Is said that he was offered a splendid chance to perform for his clothes and board tho first month, his board and clothes the second and both the third. When Cy looked at his first semimonthly pay check ho thought somebody had mistaken him for one of the ushers in the upper pavilion, but soon was convinced of his error. Later in the season, when ho appeared weak and ready to fall apart, they gavo him two more dollars spending money and saved the clgaretto coupons for him. This was almost too much, but Falkcnberg survived tho shock. It gave him moro confidence, and when the Federal League plastered him with legal tender ha strolled out of the picture and cared as much for the Cleveland spendthrifts as Barah Bernhardt pines for Berlin, Cy returned to the United States wjrno time ago, via the Athletics. Ho ap peared in three games and lost two of them. Ho did not seem to havo tho curves and slants that made him a famous hurler in the days gone by, but now wo know the secret. He was waiting for a chance to work against Cleveland, and he showed that he had tho goods. He beat none other than the expensive' Guy Morton, thus demonstrating to the world that he still is there" with the old soup bone as of yore. THUS It can be seen that Cyrano stung his employers twice In the same place. He beat their best pitcher, 'Who is getting a man-sized pay, and also took revenge for the days when his idea of buying a big meal was to order a tall one and stay all the required time at the lunch counter, which is An active aid to the foes of national prohibition.

Important as theso ad monitions, may be,' there are numerous other things to bo avoided In the game of golf Indeed, fol lowing every direc tion for playing a shot might be a table setting forth the er rors to bo avoided In the making of that particular shot, for it Is not sufficient to tell a man Vhat to do; he must also be told what he should not do, A very common er ror Is selecting the wrong club for the work It Is expected to do. It Is general ly agreed that each CHICK EVANS club works normally within a certain range, and we speak ot a mashte-distance and so on use the proper ciuo for its proper work. The driver Is for the greatest distance, the brassle next, and the Irons go down a gradually diminishing scale Sometimes a player can manage to make a short-distance club do long-distance work: but It Is a self-deceptive, habit and not at all to be advised. An only too common fault In making a golf swing is swinging the body Instead of the club. The body should be turned at the waist and the club head should be swung. Hitting Ball Prematurely Another very common error Is dipping the clubhead below the shoulders that is, over swinging. Hitting the ball prematurely be fore we are comfortably set Is another mis take we are likely to make. When a player finds himself hooking he should make his swing mora uprlfht: K art Jl .!.'
